Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 3 tbsp chili garlic sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 bag tortilla chips or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften for easier mixing.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and chili garlic sauce. Mix until well blended using a spatula or hand mixer on low speed.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the spread has a smooth, even consistency with no lumps.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or chili garlic sauce for extra heat.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of extra chopped green onions or shredded cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or crackers, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
